Martin Brundle disagrees with Toto Wolff's statement about risking disqualification for a race win, stating that Lewis Hamilton's car was outside the regulations. Brundle believes Wolff's comment is flippant and disagrees with the decision to take the risk.
Martin Brundle has called out Toto Wolff for his “flippant” comment that he’d risk a disqualification in a bid to win a race, the former F1 driver believing Lewis Hamilton’s plank was a “reasonable chunk” outside the regulations.
As for his team boss Wolff, he not only stated that Mercedes thought their set-up may be on the “limit” but that they’d do it again. “Toto and Lewis have done a very good job this weekend of saying nothing to see here, lLook at all those others they must have been cheating as well or whatever.“But, you know, some teams lifted their cars to be certain because it was a Sprint weekend because it was bumpy, drivers taking kerbs, talk of a headwind pushing the cars down a little bit more even on the back straight.
“I’m surprised that Toto said that but as you said, it was probably a flippant remark because nobody wants to be called cheating,” he said. “It looks very bad for the team, very bad for the OEM also.”
